Motivation: the envoy binary classifier returns no package for envoy 1.37.1, 1.40.0 and 1.40.1 (the official envoyproxy/envoy images), while neighbouring versions such as 1.37.0 and 1.38.0 are detected. Approach: - the main matcher (NUL-delimited version followed by envoy_reloadable_features) only accepted 1.3x; widen it to 1.[34]x, which covers 1.40.0 and 1.40.1. - in the 1.37.1 binary the version string sits between different neighbouring strings, so the existing matchers do not fire. Add a matcher anchored on the preceding "DeltaDiscoveryResponse.removed_resources" string. - add snippets, config.yaml entries and test cases for 1.37.1, 1.40.0, 1.40.1 (linux/amd64 images, pinned by digest). Validation: - cd syft/pkg/cataloger/binary && go test . -run 'Test_Cataloger_PositiveCases/envoy' : the three new fixtures fail without the classifiers.go change and all envoy cases pass with it. - golangci-lint run ./syft/pkg/cataloger/binary/... : 0 issues. - Built syft before/after and scanned the full linux/arm64 envoy binaries from the official images: 1.37.1, 1.40.0 and 1.40.1 were not reported before and are reported with the right version after; 1.37.0 and 1.38.0 are unchanged. - Not run: the rest of the package test suite needs docker, which is not available here (Test_PEPackageCataloger etc.), and snippets for other binaries are not downloaded locally. The contrib-build fallback matchers still only accept 1.3x; they are untouched.

Syft
A CLI tool and Go library for generating a Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) from container images and filesystems. Exceptional for vulnerability detection when used with a scanner like Grype.
Features
- Generates SBOMs for container images, filesystems, archives (see the docs for a full list of supported scan targets)
- Supports dozens of packaging ecosystems (e.g. Alpine (apk), Debian (dpkg), RPM, Go, Python, Java, JavaScript, Ruby, Rust, PHP, .NET, and many more)
- Supports OCI, Docker, Singularity, and more image formats
- Works seamlessly with Grype for vulnerability scanning
- Multiple output formats (CycloneDX, SPDX, Syft JSON, and more) including the ability to convert between SBOM formats
- Create signed SBOM attestations using the in-toto specification

Installation
The quickest way to get up and going:
curl -sSfL https://get.anchore.io/syft | sudo sh -s -- -b /usr/local/bin
Tip
See Installation docs for more ways to get Syft, including Homebrew, Docker, Scoop, Chocolatey, Nix, and more!
The basics
See the packages within a container image or directory:
# container image
syft alpine:latest
# directory
syft ./my-project
To get an SBOM, specify one or more output formats:
# SBOM to stdout
syft <image> -o cyclonedx-json
# Multiple SBOMs to files
syft <image> -o spdx-json=./spdx.json -o cyclonedx-json=./cdx.json
Local containers-storage images
On Linux, syft can scan images from a local containers-storage store (e.g. built with Buildah or Podman) when asked explicitly; plain image references never look there:
syft --from containers-storage localhost/myimage:latest
# rootless stores must be read from inside the builder's user namespace
podman unshare syft --from containers-storage localhost/myimage:latest
This is included in the Linux release binaries. When building from source, add -tags containers_image_openpgp,exclude_graphdriver_btrfs.
